Abstract
A computer screen image displaying method is executed after power-on of a computer and includes: receiving data associated with a detected default display mode of a BIOS of the computer and a display mode stored in a display device coupled to the computer; and determining if the default display mode of the BIOS and the display mode of the display panel match, and if so, causing a video controller of the computer to output image signals according to the display mode of the display panel, and if not, causing the video controller to output image signals corresponding to the default display mode of the BIOS. Thus, screen orientation can be controlled during BIOS POST to spare the user the trouble of changing screen orientation under an operating system environment, thereby enhancing efficiency and saving system resources.
